The Meat Puppets and Moistboyz

After a decade-long hiatus that finally ended with bassist Cris Kirkwood’s rehabilitation, Arizona-bred twang-punk acid rockers the Meat Puppets sure are making up for lost time. The Kirkwood brothers and drummer Shandon Sahm (son of Sir Doug) have another delightfully scatterbrained new album to promote, “Rat Farm,” and have played a string of memorable Twin Cities gigs in recent years. They seriously have never been better live. Maybe ex-SST labelmate Grant Hart, whom they were calling for last time, will show this weekend. Moistboyz open. Chris Riemenschneider
